Electrical Tech / Alpine Deck
Bought a Ford wiring harness, wired it all up for my Alpine Deck, plugged it in everything works lights up plays cd's blah blah blah. But there is no sound coming out of any of the speakers. What do i do with the stock equalizer that's there, i tried it unplugged and plugged in, it appears that absolutely no power is going to the equalizer so i am asumming it is not part of the equation.

Any ideas as to whats going on here?

Engine Tech / PCV where does it go
Quote from: Tbird232ci;255852
Here is a trick I would do in your shoes. Take a PCV valve with a 90* barb on the top, and press that in place of your oil separator on top of your valve cover. From there, run a hose to a catch can, and then from the catch can, run it to a nipple that you would drill and tap on your intake tube.

What this does is ensure that at all times, your crank case is under vacuum and your rings will seat a bit better, especially if you have some miles on your car.

Could i just run it to a bung in the intake instead of having a catch can and then running it to the intake tubing?

Engine Tech / PCV where does it go
Isnt it the positive crank case vent? from the valve cover to the plug on the snout on the ihi turbo i believe. but now it has all changed the whole set-up so im just wondering what to do with it. should i tap into the inlet tube on the intake like it was before?

Engine Tech / PCV where does it go
Putting my new set-up together. Forgot where on the hell the PCV end screws into.

And im kind of confused as to which vacuum lines do what. I have no boost controller at the moment, i will be purchasing a Ric Gillis manual set-up soon enough. Is my wastegate line plugged into the right spot on the turbo, i believe it is.

Anyways i just need to clarification on things. Thanks

Engine Tech / 2.3L Engine Build Up
Quote from: Lightningbird;251335
You should see if you can do this on a "BUDGET", otherwise 700 hp outta a 2.3 Turbo may end up on your driveway during the first burnout. 700 hp is a nice goal but a little more realistic 500 hp is attainable when you have never heard of Carrillo Rods. Without killing a budget, a $200 Eaton M-90 from a SC would make 20+lbs of boost on a 2.3 throughout the entire powerband. It would give the anemic low end of the motor some V-8 style of grunt and that top end pull the 2.3 is known for. Besides do you have the drive train for a legitimate 700hp? My 5.0 Bird was making a conservative 430 and was eating rearends and trannies like a fat chick on Peanut Butter Cups. You may want to think this out a bit, a 5.0 block will only handle 600 hp so I would say you need, Aftermarket Block (2.5 stroker), main studs, girdle, a 4130 "STEEL" crank or stronger, JE Pistons, 7.8:1 CR, O-Ring the block, Copper head gaskets, Larger intercooler, Racing Head, Crazy Camshaft, Possibly a sheetmetal intake, injectors, Custom Fuel system, Alcohol Injection System......The list is endless. I hope you are rich or employed by some Middle East Sultan.

Well here is what i've decided. going to buy a 2.5 stroker block off racer walsh and acspoogeulate the parts needed for the build. A friend

of mine has offered to build the engine and head for me, he has been building race engines for 35 years so he knows a few tricks. Im

going to go for pure efficiency here. Fully race ported head, big lift roller cam, everything from the intake to exhaust needs to flow with

as little impedance as possible. I am planning on running a MicroTech ECU which is basically a stand alone system that will

replace the stock wiring harness. Current Turbo i have now isn't going to cut the 600-700 hp mark It's a Hybrid t3/t4 turbonetics

dual ball bearing turbo, not sure of the A/R but its efficient to about 400HP. This isn't going to be no over night build, thats for sure.

 I'm in college at the moment and working part time. The Driveline is basically stock, and I will be leaving it that way on a 400hp street

tune, without any abuse it should hold up fine. Once i can afford a 6 speed TR, and some beefy rear end parts for the 8.8, 5 lug

conversion ext. then i'll turn up the boost.
